One of New Zealand’s most accomplished women’s players, she won a national junior title and then, as Pam Buckingham and later Pam Guy won five national senior titles and a New Zealand Open crown. She represented New Zealand with distinction from 1968-79. The 1970s was a time of strength for New Zealand women’s squash, but no-one rose as high in that era as Pam. Her trademarks were her fitness, strength and power and she had a fiercely competitive temperament that helped her to win many close matches.
